The most irritating thing about Barton is that he's reasonably intelligent (comparatively), but this just makes him even more stupid somehow. The pseudo-intellectual bullshit he posts on Twitter is insanely irritating. I'd rather he just posted about how much he fancies Rhianna like all these other mongs do.

Just to back me up, someone put this in my twitter timeline:

@WhoScored: Joey Barton: In his last season in the PL, only two outfielders (Crouch & Figueroa) played more inaccurate passes than Barton (413)

Yeah he was appalling, I remember seeing his stats at the end of that season and thought how on earth could he retain his place in that side. As much of a cunt that he is, he's a better player than he was that season.
